We hereby confirm that the discussion set forth under the caption “Taxation – Luxembourg tax considerations”, in the Prospectus Supplements, which are part of the Company’s Registration Statement filed on 20 June 2018, is our opinion.

In giving such consent we do not thereby admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act.
